Hi, We are currently looking at PacketFence as a potential replacement for a VMPS based NAC solution we developed 10 years ago, however to make it work we'd need to be able to customize the way user registration works, as well as how the nodes/users are displayed from within the web GUI.
Just wondering if this is possible with PF, without breaking it and making future upgrades difficult? Specifically, in our current solution we are able to add/delete VLANs as a tenant comes and goes, then create individual user accounts for each device being signed into that VLAN. One user can only register a single device. Our admin view currently focuses on an initial list of all the VLANs currently active. We then click a VLAN and it lists every device registered in that VLAN, along with the user the device is registered to. It splits display between devices registered via user account versus manual assignment (ie printers). We can then export a list of accounts (registered, free or combined view) to CSV which we email to a staff member for the tenant. >From the registration side, the registration page first asks for a user/pass combination (as created above). Once this has been accepted, it asks for the individuals name and email address before registering the device against that user and signing them in. Less important, though useful in our current solution, we display user usage in the VLAN page against each user/device. The data comes from the pmacctd daemon running on our firewall (pfsense), tied to the devices mac address. The other aspect I've noticed we'd need to customise is to remove the registration time window and deregistration period. We remove users manually as they leave the tenant, or remove them all when the tenant leaves by deleting the VLAN. Any assistance and guidance on whether this would be a feasible mdofication appreciated. I can post screenshots of our system to better explain if necessary :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
